...an array of math and social studies courses at a large, public high school in California. I worked there for six years, providing a great deal of one-on-one tutoring to our at-risk population, mainly focusing on help with homework assignments, SAT prep, and college essay writing. In 2005, I moved to England and spent the 2005-2006 school year earning an MS in Human Rights at the London School of Economics and Political Science. For the...

...worked as a middle and high school science teacher in Mississippi and Colorado. I tutor a few different subjects, but I am really passionate about helping students improve their standardized test scores as they prepare for college. Improving SAT and ACT scores can really open doors to admission and scholarships at great schools! Currently I am a graduate student studying social work at the University of Denver. In my spare time, I can be found...

...a stirring essay, or a long research project? I've been there. Struggling with some obscure economics problem? I've been there too. I've been through all these educational trials, and I have succeeded at mastering them. Varsity Tutors gives me the opportunity to pass along the work ethic and drive you need to do the same. If you want to master something new, or learn a plan of attack for the LSAT, I'd love to hear...

...skills. I love helping students improve their essay writing abilities as well as approaching literature critically. As such, my main interests are in English, Literature, Public Speaking, and general Essay Writing. When I'm not gushing over literature, I'm an avid movie-goer; novice knitter; veteran skier; and nerd extraordinaire. Overall, you will find me an impassioned, but patient tutor. I believe that every student can get excited about learning. I work to delight and instruct.

...recently become interested in helping students. Early in my career I worked training thousands of writers across the country on how to properly write news articles. As cheesy as it might sound, children are, in fact, our future. Becoming a tutor means helping future generations appreciate literature, understand history, and generate solid English writing skills. Every student is different. As a tutor, my goal is to ascertain each student's educational roadblocks and work with them...

...Biology. Although I am passionate about studying and tutoring all areas of Math, Science, and Literature, I believe Algebra and basic Chemistry form a strong foundation for anyone considering a career in science. Through my service with Americorps, in which I provided 300 hours of tutoring to the schools in my community, I found that many difficulties students have in math and science subjects stem from a misunderstanding of basic mathematics. I also found this...

...students after teaching in public school daily throughout my career. I have also substitute taught for four years in grades K-8. My main focus in tutoring has been in preparation for the AIMS test, which has a focus on Math and Reading. I also enjoy tutoring writing and language to ESL students. My favorite tutoring subjects are those in which the student makes the most progress, and gains confidence. When tutoring a student, it is...

...education have a leg up on those who don't. You'll have better options for employment and have an easier time living the life you want to live. I myself was only able to get into medical school because my father stressed the importance of mathematics when i was very young. It helped get me through the hardest parts of college. Even now, while on leave from Med School, I am able to do what I...

Once I received that, I proceeded to both tutor Science and English as well as substitute teach science in Jeffco Public Schools. I...
